officials, there are suspects currently in their custody. however, they did not elaborate what role these individuals may have played in the attack. officials we've been speaking to are convinced that this was a planned and coordinate attack. they are not convinced that it was simply an outburst of spontaneous anger towards an anti-islamic movie made in the u.s. which has angered protesters all across the region. they are convinced there was some kind of planned or pre-planned attack against the american embassy. meanwhile, the u.s. is sending fbi special investigators to benghazi to help in determining the cause of the attack, and who else may have been involved in it. now, for their part, the u.s. embassy has received some reinforcements. at least 50 marines have arrived and have now taken up positions here in the capital. we also understand that at least two u.s. navy warships have been deployed off the coast of libya, and the government here has pledged to the united states that it will cooperate with the investigation, and help in trying to bring the perpetrators

jay gray, nbc news, austin, texas. veronica is here with a look at the weather forecast. another spectacular day. even a little warmer than yesterday, right? >> you must have been outside today. >> i was. >> and i turned the ac on in my car which is unbelievable. i couldn't believe i was doing it. >> too warm for wendy, but now we'll see a cooldown, we're talking about a lot of rain and cooler temperatures. that's something we haven't seen in a while. just rain. the all-day kind of rain. >> no thunder and lightning, no wind kind of rain? >> that's right. take this weekend to go around your house, clean out the gutters, get a lot of debris -- anything that's going to keep -- or block the drains there, to keep them from flowing. because we're talking about a substantial amount of rain. that's the way it's looking right now. the details coming up. first, look at that sky. it is gorgeous. so pretty right now. 82 degrees was our high temperature today. we started out at 64. your average high, 81.

right now, a few clouds. but i do not think we're going to see any rain from those clouds. so partly cloudy right now. reagan national airport with a temperature at 81 degrees. did you notice this, too? doreen did. a little bit of humidity in the air today. dew point right now of 50% humidity. we've got the wind that's coming out of the south. and when this front that i'm expecting to move through here by tomorrow morning, behind it our winds will shift to out of the north. temperature currently up in gaithersburg, 77 degrees. good evening to you folks around leesburg, 81 degrees. and waldorf, 81 is your temperature. so let's take a look at the radar. it is dry throughout as the radar scans team 4 radar. dry here. you'll notice those showers along the line of this cold front. they're just falling apart as they make their way eastward. so i thought maybe we might see

a sprinkle or two, but i don't even think we'll get that. the next weather system will be coming in quickly at the end of the weekend, a storm system developing down south. that system will be pulling a lot of moisture with it and an area of low pressure early part of next week. we'll focus on this front coming through, nice conditions for tomorrow. area of high pressure moves in. we get some sunshine. and then for sunday, you're going to notice sunshine, and then a few clouds coming in, especially some of our southern-most counties south of d.c. down around stafford county. those will be coming from the new area of low pressure. it's going to follow the upper air flow. the area of low pressure organizing, so monday and tuesday is the time period. monday late, tuesday morning. spots like raleigh, north carolina, atlanta, georgia, may have some airport delays monday evening with the storm system. and the type of rain that it will dump. it will pull a lot of moisture out of the gulf of mexico.

for us here, again, i think tuesday early we could see our wettest time period going into midday, with the storm system perhaps winding down by tuesday late afternoon and evening. here's the kind of rain i'm expecting. one to three inches. and while we're not expecting any severe weather with any tornadoes, or high winds, we still could see winds up to around 30 miles per hour. so a soggy one for us coming up. our evening forecast for partly cloudy, gorgeous out there, 71 to 75 degrees. so get out and really enjoy yourself the next couple of days. 54 to 63 early tomorrow morning. more sunshine, more beautiful weather, mild at 75 to 80 degrees. today into the low 80s. tomorrow, just shy, i think, of 80 degrees in a lot of neighborhoods. 76 degrees expected on monday with a 60% chance for rain around the area. 77 on tuesday. on tuesday, with that heavy rain moving through, i think any breaks we get in the cloud cover

there is the possibility of a mble of thunder. that's the way it's looking on the other side of this front. we'll talk more about this coming up. 73 for a high temperature on wednesday. >> oh, my. no ac that day. >> no. >> bring out the heavier sweaters. thanks, veronica. a news4 exclusive report on a brazen midday robbery is coming up. an eyewitness tells how a clerk tried to stop the crooks. police want to find a man who stalked a man on metro and then attacked her. coming up in sports, the caps sign one of their stars to a new deal. the redskins pay tribute to an opposing coach's facial hair. we'll explain. plus, how mike shanahan plus, how mike shanahan tries to keep the rams g this message. experiences classrooms. sizes don't matter... by 20%. teaching to some test... he personally cannot relate to. education,

exciting, does it. >> i'm sort of overwhelmed. >> reporter: that's because the outcome could likely determine if the falls church health care center continues to exist. these regulations govern an area such as the size of janitor's closets and number of parking spaces as well as they would to a new hospital. >> there's been a lot of change in construction for new hospitals. our existing fairfax hospital cannot meet these 2010 new guidelines. >> reporter: but after the vote, the falls church health care center would have to. it redefined clinics as a class of hospital, thus bringing them under the same regulations. the sat board of health voted that existing facilities could be exempted from the new regulations or grandfathered out. but the state attorney general kicked it back to them, refusing to certify their vote. and on this day, the amendment was defeated. and so were the expectations about the outcome. >> i did not see this coming.

because i really did trust the medical professionals and the board of health, and now i've been proven wrong. >> reporter: supporters of the regulation say they would ensure the safety of women who use these clinics for gynecological care, legal abortions or whatever. but cotting says the regulations already in place were more than sufficient, and now that new regulations could put them out of business. >> i think medicine is being practiced by the legislature, and by the attorney general, and i don't think that they have been approved by the office of professions here of health in virginia to do that. >> reporter: derrick ward, news4. similar laws in tennessee and kansas have already led to clinic closings there. rosemary cotting and her staff are working to bring the falls church facility in compliance with the new regulations, but she said a shutdown of the facility is still possible. new video of a person of interest in an armed sexual assault that occurred near an orange line metro station. d.c. police want you to see the man who followed the victim out

front. but they're not going to bring us any rain. i don't even think we'll see any sprinkles during the overnight period. we're going to start clearing out and get the sunshine back in here tomorrow. temperatures will rise, but not quite as high as they were today. getting into the upper 70s. 76 in frederick. d.c., 79. a fine weekend. we will have the front coming through. we've got sunshine on tap for saturday, just a few clouds are going to start making their way into the area on sunday. at 3:00, you can see what i'm talking about, clouds streaming through. by late sunday and early monday, the clouds will start coming in fast from the south. because that's exactly where our next storm system is coming from, from the south. so by the time we get to monday, it's going to be wet around here. i think very wet by tuesday morning.

we're going to run him in the game, or the possibility of running him. so we can run our offense and dictate what we want to do. not necessarily what they're going to do. so we can hopefully keep people off-balance. it's a fine line. but it's something that's been fun for us. experimenting with some of the things he's able to do. >> all right. to lambeau field last night. rivalry game between the bears and packers. under two minutes to go in the first half, green bay, a little trickery, faking the field goal. it's tom crabtree going in for 27 yards. packers up 10-0 at halftime. to the fourth quarter, you love that. well, bears trailing 16-3. packers fans love this. jay cutler, who talks trash before the game, throws out garbage, intended to brandon marshall, but picked off by williams. one of four interceptions in the game for cutler. he was also sacked seven times.
